Subject: [gentoo-user] OT: hard disk access and recovery impossible under linux ?
Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:27:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100731152732.4da6f3d1@matrix.inten.pl> (raw)

Hi,

My problem is really strange - I can't access my hard drive from linux,
but it works from windows without problems. It has some bad blocks.

I'm trying to access it from rescuecd which seems to be based on
gentoo - so it's not totally off topic :)

Here is dmesg: http://capsel.inten.pl/disk/dmesg

cat /dev/sda gives no output, fdisk fails with "unable to
read /dev/sda". smartctl does not report model or serial, there is no
error log... hdparm shows "Invalid exchange" or
"Inappropriate ioctl for device", all commands failed.

What else can I do?
